    "abstract": "It is shown how point charges and point dipoles with finite self-energies can\nbe accomodated into classical electrodynamics. The key idea is the introduction\nof constitutive relations for the electromagnetic vacuum, which actually\nmirrors the physical reality of vacuum polarization. Our results reduce to\nconventional electrodynamics for scales large compared to the classical\nelectron radius $r_0\\approx 2.8\\times10^{-13}$ cm. A classical simulation for a\nstructureless electron is proposed, with the appropriate values of mass, spin\nand magnetic moment.",
